Previously on Paying the Price:

I sit next to Scavenger, smiling in intrest, and he smiles back.
"Well, This was during the Golden Age of Cybertron, when he was a youngling..."

"He was a couple thousand years old, around five in human standards, and it was the day of his booster shot..."

"NO!" yelled a small red and blue bot as he runs around the med-bay, closely followed by a now exsaperated red and white medic.

"I DON'T WANT A SHOT!" The youngling shouts as he runs under the berth. The medic known as Ratchet crawls on his knees and peers under.

"Orion Sentinel Pax-!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who's Orion Pax?" I asked curiously.

Scavenger groaned quietly.

"Orion was Optimus' previous designation, before he was granted The Great Matrix of Leadership and became a Prime."

"Oooohhh..." I drawled.

"Ok, carry on."

He nodded at me. "Anyway,"

"Orion Sentinel Pax! You get out here right now so I can give you your booster!" Ratchet yells.

"NO! I DON'T WANT A STUPID SHOT YOU MEAN OL' MEDIC!" Orion shouts, sticks out his glossia, and blows him a rasberry.

Ratchet's patience finally ran out and he reaches under the bed, grabs the young little bot, pulls him out, and straps him to the berth, with much effort.

"No! Don't!" Orion hollars as he pulled out the needle which was full of the medicine.

"Well, maybe if you had been a good boy and not tried to run I wouldn't have to strap you down like this!"

He put an arm down on the small bot's stomach to hold him down and carefully and quickly stuck the needle in and out of Orion's medicine port on his arm.

"OWWY!" H

e opened his mouth and started wailing as Ratchet undid the straps and sat him up. "Sh... It's ok, it's all-" Orion smack his hand away, hard.

"Get the frag away from me you meanie head!"

Ratchet recoiled at the bot's words, then glared viciously at Orion's nerve,

"Orion Pax!"

"Shut up! I never want to ever, never, in the history of ever want to talk to you ever, ever again! I wish you would just disapear so I wouldn't have to see you ever again! Just go away you fragging jerk!"

The door slid open with a hiss and an orange bot named Ironhide ran in.

"Wha in the name of Primus is goin on in-"

"I hate you!"

"Ooooooooh..." "Would you be quiet!" "Yes sir... Wait, Ironhide?" Scavenger sighed. "It used to be a very popular name. "Oh."

Ratchet's optics widened.

That did it.

It felt as though his spark had split as the words tumbled out of Orion's mouth and he turned his head slightly to hide the coolant in his optics. Those words had hurt him very badly, seeing as how he saw Orion as a son, almost.

Ironhide, however, was very angry at what the bot had said. He knew of the close relationship between those two.

"Orion..." He growled softly.

The youngling whipped his head around to him in panic.

"Uh, 'Hide, I, um-"

He started backing up on the berth as the mech neared him. Ironhide grabbed his arm.

"You are comin with meh." he growls dangerously and drags him out of the room.

When the door slid shut Ratchet plopped down on the berth and started massaging his temples, listening to what was going on, but all that he could hear was Ironhide's muffled lecture and Orion's retaliation.

Then, Ironhide's shouting stopped, but he could hear the youngling protesting. A loud clang ran through the air as Ironhide dropped something onto the ground.

No more than a astroklik later he shot up in the berth.

He thought he heard a muffled smack.

Sure enough, the previously muffled smacks got louder and clearer along with Orion's loud cries. He could finally make out some words now.

"Hide...Ple...Owwy...Ah...hurts!" Ironhide was spanking Orion! This was his first time being spanked too! Ratchet was shocked, but did nothing to stop him, just continued listening.

"Waaahhh!" The young bot cried as Ironhide continued smacking his aft, the armor for it having been unhooked and throw on the floor. He kicked, screamed, cried, and begged for mercy, but nothing seemed to effect the weapon specialest as he continued to spank Orion with the ping pong paddle.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

"OWWY! Uncle Hide!" Ironhide continued to spank Orion hard, making sure he learned his lesson well.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Ratchet wiped away the tears on his face as someone walked into the medbay. Scavenger rushed over to him, worried.

"Yay! Your in the story!" "Yes, so I am."

"Do you hear that?"

"Yep."

"Is Ironhide-?"

"MmHm."

Then Ratchet realized that the spanking had ended and the door slid open, revealing a solem looking Orion, who was staring at the floor, hand his hands tucked behind him, closely followed and watched by Ironhide. They stepped infront of him and Orion glanced at Ironhide, who gestured at Ratchet expectingly. The youngling turned back to him.

"I-I'm sorry." He mumbled quietly. Ironhide cleared his throat and he looked up at Ratchet.

"I-I'm sorry for running away and I'm sorry I hid."

Tears started to pool in his eyes as he wiped his nose plate.

"I'm sorry for hitting you! I'm sorry for cursing! I'm sorry for yelling at you!"

The tears spilled over as he started to sob out his apologies.

"I'm sorry I called you mean names! Your not a meanie head! I'm sorry! I don't hate you!"

Ratchet couldn't take it anymore and he threw his arms around the Orion, his own tears falling down his cheeks.

"Sh... It's ok. I forgive you, sh..."

Orion wrapped his arms around Ratchets neck.

"I love you, Uncle Ratchet." He ran a hand over the bot's head in a soothing manner.

"I love you too."

"Aw. That's a sweet story. Was that the only time Optimus ever got spanked?" I say, smiling.

"Oh no, definently not the last time, I've taken him across my knee before too, but that's another story."

You tell anyone, and Scavenger won't be the only one making your aft sore.

I smirk.

"Yeah, right, you'll spank me from the otherside?" I think to him.

*epic eye roll*

Scavenger rolls his eyes as well and stands, stretching.

"Let's just go back. I believe you have an apology to give out."

I nod, standing up and hissing as burning pain flashes across my aft. The bridge appears infront of us and we walk in.

TBC :P
